You’re invited to a rare opportunity to see the inner workings of an artist at work in his private studio. Many of the items on display have never been seen before; some are not made public, except during this event.

In addition to the state-of-the-art digital photographs, also on display are a wide variety of related studies some drawn, some painted, and some computer rendered.

Come have an adventure in art. Be among the first to see new works from artist John Paul Caponigro’s new series Land In Land. Caponigro says, “I make the images in Land In Land to bring together the many different ways I experience the land. Two moments in time, experienced relatively closely together, in the same location, are merged; one, a detail of the ground I’m standing on; and another, a more expansive view of the landscape I’m moving through. All of the images are made and processed with a smartphone, where I hold images of the land in my hands before making the exposures and then touch them to select special moments. Wherever I go, I keep the images close to my skin. Over time, I carry one land into other lands. But where does one start and another end? As different as they feel, aren’t they really one? Are we lands in land?”

A second exhibit is also on display featuring a selection of the artist’s boldest work in color, made in Maine, his home for over 30 years.
